Professional Licensure
Some careers require a state license or certification before you can work in that field. If you are pursuing one of these careers, it is important to know whether your UM program meets the requirements in the state where you plan to work.
Federal regulations and UM's participation in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) require us to provide this information publicly and keep it current.
What You Need to Know
UM reviews and updates this page each July. Because licensing requirements can change, you should not rely on this page alone. Contact your state's licensing board directly to confirm current requirements before you graduate or apply for licensure.
How to Use This Page
Use the program list below to find your program and see whether it meets licensing requirements in your state.
Keep in mind:
- Licensing requirements vary by state. A program that meets requirements in 猎奇重口 may not meet requirements in another state.
- Some professions require a license in every state. Others only require it in certain states or for certain positions.
- Some states require your program to be approved by the state licensing board before you can sit for a licensing exam. Check whether this applies in your state.
What "Meets" or "Does Not Meet" Means
Each program listing will indicate one of the following:
- Meets requirements: UM has determined that this program satisfies the educational requirements for licensure in that state.
- Does not meet requirements: UM has determined that this program does not satisfy the educational requirements for licensure in that state. If your program has this designation for your state, contact your academic advisor or program director to discuss your options.
If you are applying to a professional licensure program and UM has determined that the program does not meet your state's licensing requirements, you will need to complete an additional step before you can be admitted.
You will be asked to complete the Student Attestation and Acknowledgment: Professional Licensure Programs form. This form will be sent to you as part of your individualized licensure disclosure during the admissions process. Admission to the program will be completed once the form is submitted.
Still Have Questions?
If you are unsure whether your program prepares you for licensure in your intended state, contact your program director or academic advisor. You should also contact the licensing board in your state directly, as they are the authoritative source for current requirements.
